Michelin Premier A/S Review

All season traction and first-rate comfort are the main features of touring tires. These tires, manufactured for passenger vehicles, ensure a safer year round performance and controllability, while not sacrificing their driving comfort.

Selecting the perfect tire set for your vehicle can be tricky, but you cannot go wrong with Michelin’s Premier A/S. Michelin utilized a variety of technologies to guarantee this model’s superb and secure performance, lowered driving disturbance levels and exceptional year round traction.

Here at Priority Tire we offer a wide range of different sizes of this model at affordable prices. You are sure to find the set you are looking for.

All Weather Performance

All season tires are in high demand on the tire market due to their year round safe performing and road gripping capability. They also save the price of changing your summer and winter tire sets according to the seasons.

The Premier A/S ensures an excellent all weather performance. Michelin used the Evergrip Safety Technology to guarantee a secure traction. This technology combines the tread pattern and the revolutionary high-traction compound to promote the model’s year round performance. The high silica compound maintains its flexibility throughout the year, even in colder temperatures, and its tighter grip provides even pressure distribution, which upgrades the tire’s gripping capability. The tread design’s block pattern and optimal siping detail increase the number of biting edges that firmly grip the ice- and snow-covered road surface. In this manner, the tire allows a safer performing capability.

The Evergrip Safety Technology also improves the wet weather traction. The technology places expanding rain grooves and emerging grooves on the tread of the tire. The expanding rain grooves are the tire’s circumferential grooves, that channel water and slush from the tire’s footprint to avoid dangerous hydroplaning. These grooves widen as the tread wears out, increasing the model’s grip in wet weather. The emerging grooves are hidden under the tread and are sipes when the tire is new. As the tread wears out, they emerge and boost the wet weather traction and the tire’s water-dispersing capability, to significantly enhance the driving safety.

Handling and Maneuvering

The tire’s optimal road contact manages to improve its controllability greatly. The better control the driver has over the tires enhances the driving security in all weather, as the tires are quick and precise in its response to the driver’s commands.

The Premier A/S promotes superb all weather control. The tread pattern and the model’s reinforced internal structure work together to increase the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering is faster and more accurate, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The stronger construction also prevents the tire’s shape from deforming during the drive. The maintained road contact and optimal shape ensure a secure year round performing capability and power.

The tread pattern and the tire compound work together to upgrade the tire’s maneuvering ability. The high-density siping detail and the silica-infused tire compound work together to create friction at the moment of braking. In this manner, the tire shortens the braking distance by enhancing the braking capability. On the other hand, the tread design’s shoulder tread block placement heightens the number of biting edges during cornering. The additional biting edges firmly grip the road surface in cornering and maneuvering situations, which provides exceptional control over the vehicle.

Comfortable Performance

The road vibrations and the generated road noise can ruin the passengers’ driving comfort. Due to this, manufacturers strive to design tires that lower the road vibration and noise levels felt in the vehicle’s cabin. Michelin used its ComfortControl technology with the Premier A/S model. This technology optimizes the tire’s road contact and tread design to promote a quiet and comfortable drive.

The technology offers a computer-optimized tread design that features a variable pitch sequence to decrease the road and tread pattern noise levels. The variable pitch sequence creates a sound frequency that negates the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. As a result, the road noise does not reach the vehicle’s cabin and ruin the driving enjoyment.

The tire’s excellent road contact and reinforced internal structure maintain the optimal tire shape. This allows the tire to closely follow the road surface and absorbs the shock of driving, which actively reduces the road vibration felt during the drive. The decreased road vibrations guarantee a comfortable performance in all conditions.
